YUBA-SUTTER COUNTY, CA (MPG) - Three California county Farm Bureaus received the County Farm Bureau of the Year Award, and one county Farm Bureau and a Young Farmers & Ranchers committee were honored with the Excellence in Ag Education Award during the 107th California Farm Bureau Annual Meeting, held in Anaheim in conjunction with the California Young Farmers & Ranchers State Conference.

For county Farm Bureaus with 301 to 700 members, Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau received the County of the Year Award for membership recruitment and being politically active in its region. 

The Farm Bureau successfully met its membership goal of recruiting new members during important time periods. Board member involvement, targeted membership drives and a structured outreach schedule all contributed to achieving this goal. 

The Farm Bureau also maintained an active social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, reaching over 240,000 total views across both platforms in 2025. It also distributed a weekly e-newsletter to more than 900 recipients with updates on programs, events and policy issues.
